Since its launch in 1992, the Premier League has grown into a global obsession. What started as England’s new top flight has become a weekend ritual for millions across continents.
The drama, fierce rivalries and breathtaking goals keep viewers glued to their screens.

From Old Trafford to the Etihad, from Anfield to the Emirates, and from Stamford Bridge to Craven Cottage, seats are rarely empty. Matchday feels like a festival.
Back home in Ghana, the picture looks very different. Even traditional powerhouses such as Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko struggle to draw the crowds they once commanded. Many venues remain half-filled on most weekends.
That contrast raises a simple question. How much does it actually cost to watch a Premier League match live, especially when the big clubs are involved?
